Meet Vincent Co, the Rumored Boyfriend of Bea Alonzo
Rumors have been circulating in both showbiz and business circles after Kapuso actress Bea Alonzo was spotted in Spain with a mystery man. Fans were quick to connect the dots, eventually identifying the man as Vincent Co, president of Puregold Price Club Inc. and son of retail tycoon Lucio Co.
The buzz intensified when both Bea and Vincent posted content from Andalucía and Seville, Spain, around the same time. A photo from Vincent’s private Instagram account, showing him walking hand-in-hand with a woman on the beach, fueled speculations even more—especially since the woman’s outfit matched one Bea had worn in her own travel post.
